hyperbolic-tiling | creating tilings of the hyperbolic plane | Graphics library

hyperbolic-tiling is a JavaScript library typically used in User Interface, Graphics, WebGL applications. hyperbolic-tiling has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

First created in 2015 (last updated 2021), this is a prototype of an automatic hyperbolic art generator and educational tool. It creates a regular edge to edge tiling of the hyperbolic plane represented as a Poincaré disk, also known as a hyperbolic tesselation. These were originally described by H. S. M. Coxeter, but were made famous by M.C. Escher in his series of Circle Limit woodcuts, back in the era when people were known only by their initials and surnames. Currently it can create images similar to Escher’s Circle Limit I. These are regular two colored tilings, defined by the number of sides of the polygons, and the number of polygons that meet at each vertex. The tiling is created out out of two Euclidean triangular pieces, one representing half a white fish, the other half a black fish.
